I must greet the perpetrators of the Sunday explosions in Al-Hussein three times. The first goes to those Egyptians who made that nail bomb that was described as ‘simple', because in fact it was a ‘genius' device whose sliver has hit Egypt's name everywhere in the world, putting it on top of the news. I salute them for their loyalty to the motherland that took care of them over the years. They have returned the favor by showing the world the true image of Egypt, not the distorted image that Egypt is safe. Who said it was? Also who said that the Egyptians are hospitable, and that Islam is a religion of compassion, tolerance and forgiveness? Those guys sent a message to the world that Egypt is an unstable country, where violence, hatred and terrorism prevail. They showed that the Egyptians can shed the blood of innocent people walking next to the most sacred religious shrines. They showed that the Egyptians do not like the tourists that come to spend their hard currencies here, and that go back home with good memories of the generosity and hospitality of the Egyptians. I salute them for serving the enemies of Egypt. The second greeting goes to the great sheikhs who taught these youngsters the teachings of our religion that incites to blow up bombs in the streets and kill people in cafes in the name of Islam. They taught them to kill French schoolboys and girls because they did not pay attention to the propaganda of the enemies and chose to spend their holidays in Egypt instead of Israel, and drink green tea in a cafe in Al-Hussein, rather than visit the Wailing Wall in the Occupied Territories. Who said Islam calls for the protection of foreigners until they return safe to their families? Who said we are the heirs of ancient civilizations in Egypt, Iraq, Syria and Morocco? Who said we are the best nation God has created? Those sheikhs with their short Galabeyas that look like they have shrunk while washing have taught those youngsters to assassinate our symbols of literature and culture, such as Naguib Mahfouz who also put Egypt on top of the news. But the will of God has thwarted their diabolical plan. The third greeting goes to our great community that has created the right conditions for all this through an education system that is a model of backwardness, and through a media that made of those sheiks stars talking about infidels deserving punishment and the sort, while they have confined true faith to trivialities like entering the bathroom with the right foot and not the left. They bred a new generation of believers who have devoted their lives to killing those who do not embrace Islam, no harm if some of Muslims died with them. And there are our good economic policies that have provided those youngsters with unemployment, rendering them unable to serve the community, and pushing them to listen to the princes of ignorance and terrorism that scream hysterically inside mosques. The last greeting goes to each one of us for watching all this without doing anything about it all those years. In fact, each of us kind of put a nail in that bomb.
